That smoke you can see floating over Manchester is coming from the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City are on fire.

Pep Guardiola's men sit on top of the Premier League table with seven wins from their opening eight games of the season, hitting a stunning 29 goals in those matches.

Stoke were the most recent side to feel City's force in the league, going down 7-2 in Manchester last weekend, and Sean Dyche's 25/1 outsiders Burnley are sure to be dreading their own trip there this Saturday.
